In today's episode of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast, I have the privilege of introducing to you Jason Lede, Sales Manager for Lede Family Wines and FEL Wines, both out of Napa Valley and Anderson Valley, CA.

Jason talks briefly about Poetry Inn, a luxurious 5 room private villa with each room containing it's own private balcony, wood-burning fire place, and incredible valley views. Poetry Inn is the only private luxury hotel located in the Stags Leap District. Jason also talks about what inspired his father to create Poetry Inn and what makes it so special and unique. Jason talks about Lede Family Wines receiving both Napa Green Land and Napa Green Winery Certifications in 2015 and what that means, especially in a society today where it seems everyone is very conscious driven from what they wear, to what they eat and drink. Jason also talks about his family's love and passion for music and how music has been such an influence, not only in his families life but also on the family vineyards and winery as well. With that being said, Jason is an incredible DJ and spends a good amout of time spinning at the Estate for spcial events and even donates his time to charitable causes and spins at places where the proceeds for the event go directly to a deserving charity which says so much about how great of a dude Jason Lede is!
